You remember Pano? They offer a desktop virtualization solution with client hardware. The client hardware is that slick, shiny metal box. No updates to the box though in 1.5, just to the server side:

• Support for the latest VMware releases
  Adds support for the latest versions of VMware Infrastructure 3 including ESX Server 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5.
• Kiosk mode usage model
   Enables Pano devices to be deployed in public or shared locations for any user. Kiosk mode allows users to have easy access to limited-purpose, highly secure virtual desktops, whether deployed in conference rooms, lobbies or shared work areas.
• Device- and location-based usage model
  Provides access to designated desktop virtual machines based on the particular Pano device being used. Device restricted mapping allows users to be connected to desktop virtual machines based on the Pano device and its location within the network. For industries such as healthcare that must comply with data privacy policies based on physical and logical rules, this usage model provides the advantages of desktop virtualization while still enabling location based policies.
• Resource optimization
  Conserves CPU and memory resources by shutting down idle desktop virtual machines (DVMs) when not needed.
• Expanded USB peripheral support
   Adds certified support for more USB peripherals, including printers, scanners and authentication devices such as fingerprint readers and proximity cards.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the pointer. I probably wasn't looking hard enough ;-).
